30m is too good to be true 
What exactly is happening this window? Sudden we bring in players we need and offload players we don't for good fees. Lingard and Jones next, please.

Wish him well, hope Leeds do shite though.
25+5
Not a reliable source
Doubtful. Leeds have been after him for a while....
Yeah, I think so. I just hope we are not on the unlikely timeline where James delivers at Leeds and Sancho becomes an inexplicable megaflop!
Everton not fecking having a shit winger moving for too much money to anybody else but them.
Jesus fair fecks to the club for getting 30m for Dan James, some business that
Top guy Dan James, very likeable as a person clearly, always seemed to try his best but it was fairly evident early on he was never going cut it here, great move for him and best of luck on his future, hope he smashes it at Leeds !

Good deal for all parties if it goes through. Would be nice to see us selling shrewdly again as well as having improved on the buying front this window.
Wow. I saw 25 M on the athletic. Would be a good move for club and player imo. Would be interesting to see how either Bielsa or, if Everton sneak in there, Benitez would work with him
Leeds fans were singing "you're too s*** to play for Leeds' to him on opening day.
Awkward. Hahahaha
Awkward. Hahahaha
£30 million is a good fee for Dan James and he will be a good fit for Leeds. Hope he does well.
i know we all want the DM which we clearly need, but buying CR7 for 20m and selling James for 30m....
A week ago I would have bitten your hand off even if we didn’t bring a midfielder in...

But but I thought he was Solskjaer's illegitimate son ?
Best of luck to him! Gave his all just not good enough for us, no shame in that.
The one weird thing is that if Amad was not injured, I doubt James would be sold. Now that Amad is staying, but will only be out for a couple of months, the club needs to move someone on to meet registration quotas.
That's a fantastic deal for us if it goes through. Fee is pretty much double what many would have expected us to achieve.
Wish James all the best. Seems like a nice lad and always gave his all.

Haha, been patiently waiting for you to tell me how many times he managed to do anything against the tank.
Anyway, it was never against him personally, just no need for us to pick him purely on ”work rate”. We should be picking our team for us not worrying about anyone else.
£30m is a great price but it really does boggle the mind as to why he started at the weekend then ahead of players we are certain we're keeping or more unsure of like Lingard. If that was really his last chance that's also a bit odd that we're making decisions like that about players so late on.
Well done @Fridge chutney. You called the £30m fee and most posters (including myself actually) thought that number was quite a way off.
Good luck. No ill feeling whatsoever towards the kid, always gave his all but not quite cut out for the very top level. Leeds may suit him very well.
Or maybe bluff Leeds into thinking that we ain't messing around when we say that he is in the plans.
Ouch
I can only assume the last minute Ronaldo deal has had an impact on it.
I think the club will appeal to the PL for an exemption, which is logical since there is a vacant number that is 'wanted' by a current player in the name of Cavani.
Only need to thank Bielsa, James fan numer 1, will fit in their hopeless 3331
Yesterday he was a Manchester United player and the player who the manager, rightly or wrong, thought was best suited for the tactical situation or who had the best fitness level needed. I don't really think it needs much overthinking
Using our starting XI in transfer plans is very unlikely and would be mental.
Possible but we'd already agreed a deal by then.
I want him to do well, even if it's for Leeds. One of the most likeable guys we have had in our squad in the recent years. Genuinely want him to do well, just not at the level that we regret selling him. £30m is a great fee. Can't remember the last time we made a profit on a fringe player.
Everton coming in to hijack them the same way we did the last time??
Because if he scored it would add a few million to his price
What's this Everton stuff when Romano's already done his here we go thing.
Brilliant deal for United if we can get 25-30m for him initial fee plus 5m in add-ons
Now we have to see if they will invest that money right away back into the squad

Did we really hijack the last time? His move broke down in January, we signed him in the summer.
No Sir, they were saying “United are shit come play for Leeds”
They weren't. Go look on twitter. Hahahaha
Oh right
Cavani probably using the n. 21 in Champions League now
